In his 4th detective novel, Dick Hardesty comes up against a web of lies, of half truths and betrayal. Dick is still controlled by his hormones and makes a few new friends along the way, meets old ones again and some of his friends meet for the first time and connect. The story is adequate and keeps your reading. I just hope Hardesty gets out of his hormone phase soon.
